Gardner Bender 41840 Heavy Duty Pushbutton Switch 60A 12V

Product Description

The GARDNER BENDER 41840 is a heavy-duty momentary-on pushbutton switch rated for 12 volts and 60 amps. It is designed for engine starting and high-current switching applications where a momentary contact is required. The switch mounts through a 5/8-inch diameter panel hole and uses screw terminals for reliable wire connections. The black and silver actuator provides clear visual identification in crowded panels or engine bays. Electricians and automotive service technicians install this switch in vehicles, marine applications, generators, and other 12-volt DC systems that require a robust starter-style switch.

This switch is suited for 12-volt DC systems requiring a momentary-on starter switch sequence. Typical installations include engine start circuits, solenoid activation, and similar high-current momentary switching tasks in residential, commercial, and mobile power applications. The screw terminal connection type accommodates standard ring or spade terminals, making field wiring straightforward in tight enclosures or panel mounting scenarios.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pushbutton switch for 12-volt DC systems requiring a momentary-on starter switch sequence with a 5/8-inch panel mounting hole.

Installation Notes

This switch is installed by licensed electricians or qualified automotive and marine technicians. Disconnect and isolate the power source before removing or installing the switch. Secure all screw terminal connections firmly to prevent arcing under high-current load. Follow applicable NEC guidelines and manufacturer wiring diagrams for starter circuit installations.
